Spark Gundam Rough Build Setup

Next up... Spark Gundam. Just a minor part moving here plus an idea of how the backpack and left armguard will be. Hmhm. (Actually put this up in FB for a while but decided to cross-post it here for some content over my blog. ^^;)

TBH, I need a 00 Qan[T] body if I were to try modding this guy out.

Roughly, this is how it will be but I can't really use the 00 Gundam's body even though it is possible. It adds more work than necessary so I'll be waiting for Gao Gao to release their 00 Qan[T]. Who knows, I might even make a dual-wing-binder 00 Qan[T] for fun along the way too. =P

The Spark Gundam design goes like this;

• Part of the Exia family, thus is focuses on melee and speed as well.
• Incorporates latest GN technology by utilizing a miniaturized Twin Drive in the chest location.
• Backpack wings are inspired by V2 Gundam, which the Spark Gundam is overall based on asides from Astraea-Exia-00-Qan[T].
• The left arm has a prototype armament - GN Beam Shield. It can be a beam shield or a beam vulcan. The vulcan can used to form an unexpected beam saber as well.

That's all for this random posting~ Hopefully I can make this build a reality within the near future although I think I can only do it sometime next year rather than this year. But, who knows? Heng Kim Trading, a local shop, has most of what I need to do it now...

GNT-0001 Thunder Gundam Concept Update

Time for a side post. XD

GNT-0001 Thunder Gundam is a custom Gundam I made a while back to succeed the 00 Raiser then later the 00 Qan[T] after the information of the movie was released.The conceptual design for this was quite hard but looking back at the original theme which was "sword wings that can detach to form bigger swords" which happens to be one of 00 Qan[T]'s gimmicks, I actually return back to the origin of the initial design. So, here it is.

This is the "mod friendly" redesign.

It will still be under the Twin Drive System but with an upgraded GN Drive that spews blueish particles instead. The color motive will be like the Hi-Nu Gundam thus it will be white and blue with silver and black.

Height: 17.5m

Weight: 3X~4Xt (lighter due to "new" materials)

Armaments: GN Sword V-II (2), GN Sword Bit (6), GN Palm Cannon (2), GN Railgun (2), Wings of Light

Mainly based on the Destiny Gundam in motive for the WoL and Palm Cannon. The wings aren't for show as they exhaust the excess GN Particles which can also cut enemies if the Gundam were to fly past them. Even though there are 2 GN Swords, only one of them can do the Buster Sword configuration at a time. It can go Trans-AM and use the Quantum Burst Mode as well.

Hopefully TT/GG will make the HG 00 Qan[T] since I'll need 2 of them for this one and I already sort-of thought of how I'm gonna mod it. ^^ But that will have to wait for a while. I will need to get 2 more for the "brother unit" also...

I would prefer to do something like this but it will be much harder to do the wings since it will have "2 layers" instead of the simplified "single layer" above. ^^;

Okay, that's all for now. Until the next post that will be so long I'll need to use Wordpress. XD

Prelude of the Storm Gundam

Anyone who has me on FB will already have seen two of the photos of my slowly ongoing plans which gets a thumbs up this year. Oh my, I really need to plan my tools, equipment and accessories budget already. Anyways, here's what I've done so far but it is merely a shape test using the excess plastic from the runners.

Before that, a quick look back at the latest sketched design of the GND-003 Storm Gundam.
There's still a lot to do except for the GN Shield Rifle Bits since I'll be going with the GN Sniper Rifle Bits for the time being. I'll do them later on, hopefully, since I really want to do that double funnel Nu Gundam action. XD
There will, unavoidably, some design changes as I go along with the mod to make my life easier. Else there will be a lot of SBs all around and I'm not too sure if I can do that much just yet so I'll make it simpler for me to do. As I go along, I might do more, just not anytime so soon.

Some of you may be wondering, what is Storm Gundam? A simple explanation would be - Neo Celestial Being's 4th Mobile Suit built 20 years after the end of the ELS confrontation. It is closer to Gundam Zabanya in use since there is no Virtue unit this time, for a certain reason. It also has a Core Fighter which has the GN Drive within it similar to Gundam Plutone.
